Berlin’s Whiskey Scene Ignites with the Launch of Knob Creek’s Boldest Bourbon Yet
If you’re serious about whiskey, Berlin just became the place to be. The iconic Kentucky distillery Knob Creek® has released its most powerful expression yet—Knob Creek® Single Barrel Select Cask Strength—and bourbon connoisseurs from Berlin to Potsdam, Dresden to Leipzig are lining up for a taste of this unfiltered masterpiece. This isn’t a bottle for beginners. It’s pure, barrel-strength American craftsmanship—no dilution, no compromises, and every bottle a one-of-a-kind experience for those who savor boldness in every pour.
Cask Strength Bourbon: What Sets It Apart?
Knob Creek’s latest drop is bottled straight from the barrel at full proof, often ranging between 110 and 130. That’s more than just whiskey—it’s a deep, layered sensory journey. Cask strength means exactly what it sounds like: uncut, unfiltered, and unadulterated. The flavors are intense—oak, vanilla, caramel, toasted spice, and the signature Knob Creek heat that lingers in the best way.
Each single barrel is handpicked and completely unique, giving collectors and enthusiasts something truly personal. No two barrels are alike, and every pour tells its own story.
